"Be Lilith," the girls said.
Athos pulled the Red Death over her eyes, all of us setting off as she whispered. “Never Eve."
Oh wow holie. This was a great end to the series. I can now say for sure that Will & Kai are my faves out of the entire lot. So much to unpack but nightfall was probably the most interesting and least misogynistic one out of all 4.

“Real monsters don’t wear masks, William Grayson III,”
“They look like everyone else.”
I loved Will in this book as well though. I thought he was so good for Emory and I loved that he never gave up on her.
“But you’re going to be fucking mine someday,”
“Come hell or high water, Emory Scott.”
I think Penelope did a really great job at wrapping the series up with this book and it kind of covered all of the bases. And they created probably one of my favorite ending lines ever.
Be Lilith,
Never Eve.

I love Will so much, he is the one guy you really just can’t help but to love and his dynamic with Emory threw me for a loop even though it’s stated throughout the series how he felt.
She annoying me a lot throughout the series but in a very understandable way. In the “just swallow your fear and pride girl and open yourself way. Because Will deserved the world and was so sweet to get always.
This was a very good wrap up to the series and it definitely hints that there may be more to come in this world!
Overall this was my second favorite book but it was very close behind Killswitch. Ugh Pen just has a way of getting me to be obsessed with any story she wants to tell. This has become one of my favorite series of all time, across all genres.

This book was a good way to end the series, although this one personally was the “least realistic”. Will is hard to love for me, but the flashbacks were making me fall in love with him. Emory is very hard to love but for the wrong reasons for me.. she clearly is a victim in MANY ways, but I feel like she prolonged a lot of communication the entire book (NOT in the flashbacks though- that was reasonable given her situation).
This book did have me fall in love with Damon even more, Kill Switch being my favorite of the series.

Idk I like my fictional men either deranged and dark like Damon or outgoing and cheerful like Will. Not that he doesn't have darkness inside him but that's different.
I loved seeing him develop through his teenage self in Corrupt through finally him coming into his own and figuring himself out. I feel like a proud mama. Even in this book he grew a lot. And I'm here for it.
I also greatly enjoyed all the action towards the end. All the planning and scheming they did to get what they wanted. And all the secrets that get revealed that tied up the series nicely and answered all the questions you might have.
The only thing that made me not give this book 5 stars, was the love story. For someone as hurt and traumatized as Emory, she needed a LOT more time and LOT more talking with Will and figuring out their dynamic, you know?
They had a lot on their plate so I guess sitting down for a private face to face wasn't exactly possible but for me, they swift too quickly from "I don't you" to "You're the love of my life".
And I know that their feelings wete always there and it was a years late confruntation but in light of the development Will did and everything Emory went through, I think they needed it.
And I guess they did after everything settled down after the end of the book, I just think it would have been nice for us reader to read it too.
